Sure, if Spags had run a great defense this year he wouldn't have been fired, however, you cannot make the claim that a great coach fired him. Payton never worked with him and then decided to go in a completely different direction defensively.

I don't get this. It is undipsputed that Payton fired him.

He didn't work with him but he looked at the film and knows what was going on defensively.
